Matt Damon seems like such a low-key, down-to-earth person in all of his interviews, that it is easy to forget that he is actually a very, very, very successful actor, writer, and producer. Unlike many other Hollywood A-listers, he seems content to chill out with his family and do everyday things like go to the park. Though his day job happens to be making critically and commercially successful films, his attitude seems to be, "Well, that's cool, but it's nothing to get all obnoxious about". However, occasionally, he does or says something that reminds everyone that he is actually an A-list actor, writer, and producer. Not only that, he has been consistently successful regarding his project choices since the late 90s, so he's also a wealthy actor, writer, and producer. Earlier this week, he did one of those things, which is a glaring reminder that his "everyman" energy masks one of Hollywood's busiest performers. Matt Damon bought a house… for $15 million dollars.
